Prev / Next while using a slideshow with random selection

[DocFX]

Reproduce:
- Windows 11
- 1.8.0 x64
- NTFS HDD partition
- Have multiple directories merged into a slideshow
- Order the slideshow by any criteria (like "Modified Date")
- Slideshow options:

Code: Select all

# Slide Show Sequence v2
UseTimer = 1
Timer = 1.25
Loop = 1
FullScreen = 1
WinWidth = 640
WinHeight = 481
Stretch = 1
RandomOrder = 1
ShowInfo = 0
Info = {Filename}
TitleBar = 0
OnTop = 1
CursorAutoHide = 1
BackgroundColor = 0 0 0 255
TextColor = 255 255 255 255
UseTextBackColor = 0
TextPosition = 0
TextBackColor = 128 128 128 255
Opacity = 100
Font = MS Shell Dlg 2,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
EffectDuration = 250

About 3000 files.

While using the slideshow:
- Space (pause) >> pauses. OK.
- Previous key tap ONCE AT A TIME (set to "Previous file") >> shows previous file (ordered by modified date). OK.
- Next key tap ONCE AT A TIME >> same, the other way. OK.
- KEEP previous key PRESSED >> picks a random element from the slideshow, instead of chaining previous/next file.
- KEEP next key PRESSED >> same bug, the other way around.

Expected behaviour: keep using userland preferences, at least the same behaviour from the same action/key.

it show previous/next file not ordered by date but random

Nope. If you ordered the slideshow items (as mentioned above), it follows the slideshow order (the files are actually written in correct order in the .sld file.

Even without ordering them, it's at least following the natural order of added reads from Windows filesystem. And it still follow that exact order. Looping from the end when reaching start and vice-versa.

Regardless: the behaviour is different between single key presses and keydown maintained. That was the purpose of the topic.
